Definitive answer re: $10 plan + long distance add-on

[audricmoses]

Hi there

Does someone know for sure whether if I setup the $10 monthly talk/text plan, and do a one-time addition of the $8, 200 minute US/Canada long distance, will the add-on kick in if I go over the 50 minutes for local calling? In other words, is it "US/Canada/local" minutes? Or is the add-on useless for local calling? It's for my young son who may not go over the minutes or texts of the base plan, but the roll-over long distance add-on would be a back up in case he does. There seem to be conflicting opinions on here.

Thanks in advance! @CS_Agent

Get the 400 minute add on instead. It is a bit cheaper per minute and the minutes can additionally be used for international calling to countries over and above the USA (which is not the centre of the universe).

it is one of the best add on one can get!
